Contract Food Manufacturing
Adelaide
Maltra Foods is an Australian-owned contract manufacturing company specialising in food and beverage production for cafés, retail brands, and foodservice businesses.

Across Australia, Maltra Foods has grown to operate three facilities, with a fourth site opening in 2023. With more than 100 dedicated staff and thousands of formulations developed, the company offers the capability, experience, and production capacity to support a wide range of food and beverage contract manufacturing needs.
